I nearly quit near the beginning, but I hate not finishing what I've started. The reader, Christopher Lane, is pretty good although, like most men, his voices for women are inauthentic. The book is much longer than necessary but the writing is pretty good, and there is quite a bit of humor that kept me going. The initial dialogue and description of the primary characters left me cold. They carry on like high school kids. Solomon is sexist, arrogant, derisive, while the far smarter and better educated Lord acts like a immature, infatuated, schoolgirl who is sterotyped as a "sexy former figure skater" by the publisher. On top of this, she is engaged to be married to a millionaire nice guy who is devoted to growing and promulgating avocados. It carries on this way for a while, but eventually, I found myself enjoying it, despite myself. Gradually, Solomon's softer side is shown and proves to be endearing. His devotion and relationship with his brilliant nephew Bobby, whom he has adopted but who apparently suffers from Asperger syndrome if not autism, are heartwarming. The very qualities that make Solomon so irritating, including his lack of respect for authority, works to Bobby's advantage. In addition, his understanding of the law and knowledge of case history is far greater than he lets on. Lord on the other hand is portrayed as far more naive than one would expect from a woman with her background. In any case, their relationship seems to take precedence over the mystery, which, like a Law and Order SVU episode, isn't so very hard to figure out. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The only thing Steve Solomon and Vickie Lord had in common was the law, until they faced each other in the steamiest murder trial of the century, a case that would make sparks fly, headlines scream, and opposites attract. Now they must solve the crime before they end up in ruin, in jail-or, worse, in bed. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
